    Many of you know I’m taking golf lessons on the side and have practically fell in love with the game.

    But I just had a revelation that could help you with your focus.

    Think about the golf course for a second…

    There are 18 holes.

    You start at hole 1…

    Blast From The Past: How The Piano Made Me A Popular Guy In High School…

    As many of you know, we’re moving into our next home. With 3 kids now, we’ve outgrown our current place.

    So with that comes packing and reorganizing stuff. And since my wife has adopted this “decluttering” philosophy, it means methodically going through EVERYTHING to see what deserves to be kept, donating and trashing everything else… not just throwing stuff in boxes and figuring it out later (as I probably would have done).

    In all that, I came across my old high school yearbook. I flipped to this one page and there I was, “Mr. Jackrabbit!”

    A Lesson On Pacing Yourself

    So my wife, Sarah, is part of this exercising group called “Stroller Strides.”

    It’s a group of moms who workout with their young children in strollers. After researching the company, they have about 1200 franchises around the world.

    Three times a week, she meets up at the park down the street and the moms work out for about an hour doing cardio and strength training. Since Jadyn is in school and Brendan (our 3-month old) is still too young, Layla, our 1 year old, gets to enjoy the experience with just her and mommy.

    The Day I Crushed My Thumb Into 3 Parts

    I remember like it was yesterday.

    I was 12 years old and my mom had just bought me my first “real” keyboard. I don’t recall much but I do remember being at Guitar Center all day long as she master negotiated the lowest deal possible. It was like we were buying a car.

    By the end of the day, we walked out of there with a new keyboard, amplifier, stand, bag, sustain pedal, and cords — all for the price of just a keyboard!

    Prior, I had a radio shack keyboard. Don’t get me wrong, it did the job and along with my grandma’s antique piano, I had more than enough to…

    What Golf Can Teach You About Mastering The Piano

    As you may know, I took up golf last August.

    My instructor, Tracy Roberts (a.k.a. – “Coach”), is an amazing teacher. Like me, he really illustrates the “what,” “how,” and “why” and I’m pleased to be under his guidance, now on the other end as a beginning student.

    I’ve even introduced my oldest daughter, Jadyn, to the sport. I figured I could get her started early, seeing that she picks up stuff extremely fast.

    This week, we started working on my “short game.”

    Do you know the formula?

    If I ask you what 3 multiplied by 3 is, you’d probably have the answer really quickly — 9.

    If I ask you what 3291 x 176 is, chances are you probably won’t be able to answer as fast as the previous question. But you would be able to get out a sheet of paper and go through the steps necessary to solve this problem. That’s because you know the formula.

    And when you know the formula to something, it doesn’t matter…
